Devin Haney v JoJo Diaz

[Spicoli]

Diaz buzzed him a bit off counter tight right hook in there. Strong winning round for Diaz.

[Spicoli]

Haney three right hands low on belt ref says little to nothing early 5th. Not big on referees wearing masks

[Spicoli]

Haney back to sharpshooting and steps away to reset. Diaz sponging all of it and rocks Haney left hook! Nice get back for Diaz in late 7th his leg twerked . Haney again stuck between styles a bit

[Spicoli]

Haney just doesn't look strong in the legs when forced to set. Diaz needs to stop fooking around and let fly

[Spicoli]

Maybe it's early...Haney physically is not hanging with Tank . Good scrap here

[Spicoli]

Peach of a quick left hook flush by Haney end of 10th and Diaz bluffs thru it but he felt that. Haney collecting some damage not hard to miss, very precise punching from him though. Diaz will kick himself later tonight. Pressure breaks pipes

[Spicoli]

Surprised how often the left lands on Haney over last half. Diaz taking this last round Haney all for it..didn't score but both will yell robbery. Haney sharper cleaner but man he takes punches. Damn fine fight all around.

Pretty good fight and a nice win for Haney, didn't hear what the scorecards were and I didnt score it but I thought he deserved a close decision he held up fairly well v a tough Diaz but he's certainly no Mayweather, he just gets hit too much... He is young though and he has taken on two tough, skilled and experienced guys in his last two fights and came out of it the winner.. I thi k he'll beat kambosos but Haney's tendency to get hit on the face could well give kambo the win..

23 years old and some nice wins, he'll need to improve that defence a bit to be a real superstar though and I'm thinking he might not have it in him...even if he does unify next fight out.

Devin Haney ready to travel to Australia for undisputed lightweight fight with George Kambosos after JoJo Diaz win

Devin Haney is ready to travel to Australia for a fight with George Kambosos to become the undisputed lightweight champion.

Haney, 23, retained his WBC belt with a stylish points victory over JoJo Diaz in Las Vegas with Kambosos - the new unified lightweight champion - watching at ringside.

"Let's make it happen. The fans want to see it," Haney told Kambosos.

Kambosos wants the fight to happen in his native Australia in early 2022.

The 28-year-old upset the odds to strip Teofimo Lopez of his WBA (Super), WBO, IBF and Ring magazine lightweight titles last week.

"I want to make it happen. It should be a very easy fight to make happen," Haney added. "I've never been [to Australia] but I look forward to picking up some belts over there."

Both fighters are undefeated, with Kambosos unbeaten in 20 bouts and Haney picking up the 27th win of his professional career against Diaz.

Kambosos was on commentary duty for DAZN for Haney's fight against Diaz, but remained tight-lipped on any weaknesses he picked up on.

"Great win. Now we can talk," said Kambosos.

"[I saw] many holes, I saw the holes straight away, but I'm not going to outshine his moment. This is his moment. Full respect.

"Great victory. You handled your business, I handled my business last week. Let's get to the business side of things and now we can talk."

Eddie Hearn promotes Haney and is eager to make the fight after also staging Kambosos' epic victory over Lopez in New York.

Haney said he has no issues with Kambosos being considered the favourite and Hearn admitted the Australian was the "A-side" in negotiations.

"He's a very confident young man. We can make an offer to [promoter] Lou DiBella, [manager] Peter Khan and George Kambosos to stage the fight," Hearn told iFL TV.

"They can make an offer or we can be smart, work together to go out and maximise this fight. Doesn't have to be in Australia, could be in the US or the Middle East.

"It's an undisputed fight so a lot of people want to pay for it, but I do like the idea of staging an event in Australia and he is the A-side. We accept that, he's just had a fantastic win.

"Devin will go wherever he's needed to be undisputed, we will make sure everything's right for him and he gets the best deal. That's the natural fight and it's one that must happen next."
